Fraud inquiry launched after foreign pork allegedly sold as British

Farmers Weekly reports that leading UK food manufacturer supplied supermarkets with sometimes rotten meat

Foreign pork falsely labelled as British appears to have been sold by leading supermarkets, according to a new report released as the Food Standards Agency (FSA) launched an investigation into supply chain fraud.

An investigation by the trade publication Farmers Weekly has found that until at least the end of 2020, one of the UK’s top food manufacturers has been selling mislabelled and sometimes rotten meat to retailers.
